LETTERS TO LEONTINE ZANTA

by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

To this remarkable Frenchwoman, Teilhard reveals more of himself and his vision than to any other person.

Leontine Zanta was a brilliant, delightful, and famous Parisian. The first Frenchwoman to become a doctor of philosophy, she was the center of a lively group of writers and thinkers, and a teacher and lecturer of international renown. She was also a friend of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and throughout their correspondence, each encouraged, sustained, and tested out the thoughts of the other.

Teilhard's letters, almost all written from China, disclose a profound mutual respect and shed new light on his spiritual crisis with the Jesuits. His disagreement with his superiors, the intensity of his suffering, and the gradual working through to a deeper vision, all are exposed here in a highly personal and interesting account.

Zanta kept Teilhard in touch with the intellectual and spiritual world of Paris. To her he could open his heart and his mind, sharing the development of his thought during his most fruitful years, describing his daily life, sure of finding sympathy and understanding on the deepest level. With wisdom and delicacy he gives his friend spiritual direction, revealing in the process the richness of his own inner life.

"In these letters Teilhard expresses himself freely: he was writing in confidence; there is an uncomplicated spontaneity, immense honesty."

Les Etudes

"They give a clear impression of the man, his vision and his mission."
